    Helldivers 2’s Latest Patch: Fire Gets Toned Down, Democracy Spreads Further

    Helldivers 2 has many weapons and items that fans think need better balancing. It’s been a while since the last balance patch, but Arrowhead, the developer, has confirmed they are working on it.

    They want to take their time to make sure the changes are good decisions. There’s no specific timeframe yet, but the Helldivers 2 community manager mentioned that a fix for one of the most frustrating weapons should be in the “next big patch.”

    One weapon that players think needs a major improvement is the 500KG bomb. Many believe it needs a big buff.

    As for upcoming content, fans are excited about the arrival of the Illuminate alien race. Leaks have shown a first look at the Illuminate gauntlet and a four-armed enemy from the Illuminate.

    There is a lot to look forward to in Helldivers 2. New content is always welcome, but fans are also focused on how to better balance the game. The spear, in particular, has been complained about for months, but a fix is said to be on the way.

    Helldivers 2’s Latest Patch

    Helldivers 2 is PlayStation’s Fastest-Selling Game Ever

    Reddit user uglisaft_ shared a screenshot where Helldivers 2 community manager, Twinbeard, suggested a fix for the spear is coming.

    When asked for an update about the spear, Twinbeard responded, “I believe it is, yes. Fixed in the next big patch, that is.”

    Fans are happy to hear this, but “next big patch” makes it unclear when the fix will arrive. It might come with the next update Arrowhead is working on, or it could come with a future update before the next Premium Warbond, as some Reddit users have guessed.

    Many fans are tired of waiting and want the spear fixed as soon as possible. Former community manager, Spitz, said two months ago that a fix for the spear was tested and coming soon, but the problem still exists.

    Fans have responded with comments like “believe it when I see it” and “Sure it is. Just like it was fixed last time. It’s been over a month since it was ‘fixed 17 days ago’.” Hopefully, the fix for the spear comes soon.

    If you don’t know what the issue with the spear is, since the game’s launch, fans have complained about its lock-on feature.

    Players have reported on Reddit that the spear lock-on is inconsistent. Sometimes it works perfectly, but many times it keeps switching between locking on and losing the target.

    Fans agree that the lock-on is messed up because it often fails to lock on to things that are stationary and not blocked. This is a big problem because a successful lock-on is essential for the weapon’s effectiveness.

    The spear can “one-shot bile titans,” but only with a successful headshot lock-on. Otherwise, it just removes back armor and deals 30% of the titan’s health.

  • Elden Ring DLC Trailer: Descend into the Land of Shadow!

    Elden Ring DLC Trailer: Descend into the Land of Shadow!

    The Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC story trailer is here. It shows The Land of Shadows with amazing CGI visuals, mixing some gore with beautiful scenery.

    In February, Bandai Entertainment and FromSoftware gave us a sneak peek of the upcoming DLC. The short trailer featured fierce bosses and new mechanics, just what fans expected.

    Now, FromSoftware has shared more details about the story in The Elden Ring DLC, making fans even more excited.

    Elden Ring DLC Trailer

    FromSoftware has released a new story trailer for the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree.

    The trailer is three minutes long and gives us a fresh look at the story, which has mostly been kept secret until now, despite lots of analysis and speculation on previous trailers.

    The narration starts with, “Miquella the kind spoke of the beginning. The seduction and the betrayal. An affair from which gold arose. And so too was shadow born.”

    This seems to set the stage for the story. We see Miquella walking up bloody steps towards an archway of bloodied bodies, likely waking up from his slumber.

    We also see a war with flames and many caged fiery giants from the previous trailer. The narration says, “A purge without grace or honour, the tyranny of Messmer’s flame,” as the villain oversees the battle.

    The camera then shows the battle in the shadow of the golden Erdtree, hinting that Miquella and Messmer are enemies.

    Throughout the trailer, we see a golden symbol, probably left by Miquella, in different places. This might be a new type of site of grace or just a marker for our goal.

    In the final shot, the camera pulls back to show several characters standing at one of these symbols with the golden Erdtree in the background.

    These might be characters we’ll meet on our journey as we follow Miquella. As is common in Souls games, they might not be trustworthy. The narration ends with, “We choose to follow. Will you walk with us?”

    Shadow of the Erdtree will be released on June 21st across all platforms and will be FromSoftware’s largest expansion ever. It will be the only DLC, but it might not be the end of the series.

    Elden Ring DLC Release Date

    The Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree will take players to a new land that was destroyed by Messmer the Impaler, who seems to be the main villain in the DLC. Messmer, a demigod, started a terrible event called the “purge without grace” for Marika, causing a mass killing in the Land of Shadow, hidden by the Erdtree.

    Miquella, another key character, opposed the purge and sacrificed himself in the same place where it happened. In the trailer, Miquella is shown as a hero, but he’s the older twin brother of Malenia, one of the toughest bosses in Elden Ring.

    Players will continue their journey after the genocide, in a land destroyed by Messmer’s flames. The trailer ends with people gathering to join Miquella’s forces and fight against Messmer.

    The short story trailer for Elden Ring DLC is full of emotion and has got fans excited again.

    We know about a few bosses, like Miquella, Messmer, Queen Marika, and Blue Dancer. More details will be revealed as the DLC’s release date gets closer.

    Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree will be released on June 21, 2024, on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

  • Fortnite Teases Fallout Collaboration: Nuketown Incoming?

    Fortnite Teases Fallout Collaboration: Nuketown Incoming?

    A new vehicle has leaked ahead of its release in Fortnite for Chapter 5 Season 3. The upcoming season, called “Wrecked”, has a post-apocalypse theme and is set to start on May 24. So far, no new cosmetics for this season have been revealed, but fans can expect Fallout-themed items soon.

    Fortnite recently tweeted an image of power armor covered in dust with the words “Fortnite Battle Royale”, confirming a collaboration with Fallout. Fallout also tweeted the same image with the caption “Something S.P.E.C.I.A.L. coming.”

    The Fallout franchise, owned by Bethesda and Xbox, has become very popular lately. It fits well with the post-apocalyptic theme of Chapter 5 Season 3.

    Twitch streamer Swearin tweeted a picture of a toy Fortnite vehicle that hasn’t been released yet. Swearin mentioned, “Fortnite sent me a car inspired by one of the new vehicles for next season.”

    The toy car is a red tow truck with a black cogwheel on its sides, and engine exhausts coming out of the hood and side skirts. The truck has a sleek design, and its license plate reads “EAT NTRO”, possibly hinting at the theme of the next Fortnite season.

    Fortnite Teases Fallout Collaboration

    Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG franchise, Fallout, is coming to Fortnite. The Fallout series got a huge boost in popularity thanks to the hit Amazon TV show.

    On May 17, Epic Games announced that Fallout would be coming to Fortnite with a single image and a few emojis.

    Players will likely get to visit a Fallout-inspired location on Fortnite’s map. It looks like the iconic power armor from the Fallout games will also be added to Fortnite as a premium cosmetic skin.

    In April, the live-action Fallout TV series premiered on Amazon Prime and became one of the service’s biggest hits and most-watched shows of the year.

    This made the games more popular than ever, even crashing a mod site. So it’s no surprise that Epic and Bethesda are working together on a big Fallout/Fortnite event.

    Right now, we don’t have a lot of details about this crossover or when it will happen in Fortnite. It could just be a small thing with a few skins and nothing more.

    But it seems likely that this will be a bigger event with more than just cosmetic items, maybe even including quests. The teaser image from Epic shows at least one Fallout-inspired location on the map, suggesting that this event could have more to offer than just cool-looking power armor.

    Fortnite Leak

    Live events in Fortnite have been teasing the release of Chapter 5 Season 3 for some time now. The most recent event showed Zeus’s lightning striking Pandora’s Box, sinking it into the Styx River.

    Now, a blinking red light hovers on the horizon, flashing “no hope” in Morse code. In Fortnite lore, Pandora’s Box is linked with the apocalypse, making it a fitting way for Fortnite to move into the next season.

    Fans don’t have much time left to prepare for the new Fortnite season. A long list of quests has been available since March 8, giving players a chance to catch up on the Battle Pass.

    The current season, Myths & Mortals, features many Greek-themed skins in the Battle Pass that fans won’t want to miss. Players can expect the post-apocalyptic-themed season to start soon, and they have until around 1:30 AM ET on May 24 to finish the current Battle Pass.

    Completing season quests will be crucial for earning enough XP to finish the pass before the next season begins. Downtime usually starts around 2 AM ET, with matchmaking disabled 30 minutes earlier.

  • Firaxis’ Jake Solomon Launches Midsummer Studios: XCOM Creator Heads to Life Sim Pastures

    Firaxis’ Jake Solomon Launches Midsummer Studios: XCOM Creator Heads to Life Sim Pastures

    Jake Solomon, the former creative director of the XCOM franchise and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, has started a new game studio called Midsummer Studios.

    He is working with experienced developers who have worked on games like Sid Meier’s Civilization, XCOM, and The Sims. Together, they are creating a new “next-generation” Life Simulation game.

    Solomon, who worked at Firaxis for 23 years, is now the CEO and creative director of Midsummer Studios.

    He is joined by co-founder Will Miller, another ex-Firaxis developer, who is the game director for this new project. Miller was at Firaxis for 16 years and was the lead designer of Civilization: Beyond Earth and the lead engineer on Marvel’s Midnight Suns.

    Firaxis’ Jake Solomon launches Midsummer Studios

    Jake Solomon, the former lead of XCOM and a key figure in strategy games, announced this week that he’s co-founded a new game studio. Their focus will be on creating a life simulation game, which is quite different from the strategy games he’s known for.

    “This is where my passion is: emergent player stories,” Solomon said after the announcement. “I want to make a game that you can’t play without writing a story.”

    In an interview with PC Gamer last week, Solomon described a systems-driven life simulation game where players can choose what kind of story they want to tell. Whether it’s a romantic tale, a family saga, or a successful business venture, the game will generate characters and relationships to make the story interesting from the start.

    “We pre-seed the town with relationships,” Solomon explained. “When you start the game, your character already has relationships in the town. If you want to tell a romantic story, for example, your ex-lover might be your coworker, your high school boyfriend might be your neighbor, and your secret crush might be a town rival.”

    When asked if the game is like Dwarf Fortress, Solomon agreed, saying it’s a good comparison, though there are important differences. While it aims to simulate an environment, it won’t overwhelm players with detailed text about the town’s history every time they start a new game.

    “After choosing their story style and getting the starting town created,” Solomon said, “players can edit characters if they want to change those relationships.”

    Solomon emphasized that players will always be able to create their own stories in the game. He envisions an audience similar to Sims players on Tumblr who share screenshots of their dramatic storylines.

    Also Read:

    For longtime Sims players who sometimes feel uninspired to start a new project, Solomon’s game sounds like it will provide plenty of dramatic tension right from the beginning.

    This is the first project from Midsummer Studios. It doesn’t have a name yet, and there are no screenshots or trailers available, but you can read more details about Solomon’s vision for this small-town drama life simulation in our longer interview.

    New Radio Station

    A new radio station called Horizon Wave is being added, featuring 21 synth wave tracks and a new DJ named Isabel Moss. The music is themed around 1980s-style synthwave.

    Neon Decorations

    The game is getting a neon makeover, especially around the Highway. The decorations will sync with the music you’re listening to, and nights will be longer during the update to enjoy the lights. Some races with neon decorations are also making a comeback.

    New EventLab Props

    There are 20 new neon props for the EventLab, and most of them sync with the music for a dynamic light show. There are also three light pattern variations.

To celebrate Minecraft’s 15th anniversary, there are two new hats modeled after the Creeper and Enderman characters. These hats can be redeemed for free from the Message Center. There are also six new retro-themed car horns to earn.

  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows Official Reveal Trailer: Embrace the Shinobi in Feudal Japan

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows Official Reveal Trailer: Embrace the Shinobi in Feudal Japan

    Ubisoft’s new Assassin’s Creed game, set in feudal Japan, finally has a name: Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

    Before, it was just called Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red.

    They’re going to show more about Shadows this week, on Wednesday, May 15th at 5 pm UK time. That’s when they’ll release a full trailer for the game on YouTube.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows Official Reveal Trailer

    Assassins Creed Mirage Cheats

    The new Assassin’s Creed game, previously known as Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, now has an official title: Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game, set in Japan, will be properly revealed on May 15.

    Ubisoft tweeted, “Assassin’s Creed Codename Red becomes Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Tune in for the Official Cinematic World Premiere Trailer on May 15, 9 AM PT.” That’s noon ET / 4 pm GMT / 5 pm BST. You can watch the trailer on Ubisoft’s YouTube channel.

    This trailer is said to be “cinematic,” so we might not see much actual gameplay. But with the Summer Game Fest coming up in June and the usual Ubisoft Forward event on June 10, we’ll likely get more details soon.

    Ubisoft also mentioned an “hourglass puzzle” on Assassin’s Creed’s social media channels. They say that those who solve it will be rewarded, hinting at some hidden secret.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows was announced alongside other upcoming Assassin’s Creed games and is described as “the future of our open-world RPG games on Assassin’s Creed.” Apart from the Japanese setting and ties with Assassin’s Creed Infinity, there haven’t been many official details.

    The game is listed for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PS4, but interestingly, there’s no mention of an Xbox One version despite the last-gen PlayStation release.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows Season Pass and DLC Prices Leaked

    A dataminer, @Ubisoft_Frax, has shared some info about what’s coming after the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows (previously known as Assassin’s Creed Red).

    They say there will be at least two new expansions after the game launches, and each will cost $25. But if you want to get all the post-launch content, you can buy the Season Pass for $40.

    They’ve also mentioned the prices for Helix, the in-game currency used in Assassin’s Creed, for buying stuff in the game:

    • 500 Helix – $/€5
    • 1050 Helix – $/€10
    • 2300 Helix – $/€20
    • 4200 Helix – $/€35
    • 6600 Helix – $/€50
  • Square Enix’s Plans for Multiplatform: Franchises Freed, Fans Rejoice!

    Square Enix’s Plans for Multiplatform: Franchises Freed, Fans Rejoice!

    Square Enix, the company behind Final Fantasy, has shared a new business plan. They say they want to “aggressively pursue a multiplatform strategy” which means they want to release games on different platforms like Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and PCs.

    This could mean they might not focus as much on releasing games only for Sony platforms as they used to.

    Square Enix’s Plans for Multiplatform

    Square Enix’s Plans for Multiplatform

    Square Enix has a new plan called “Square Enix Reboots, and Awakens.” They want to release their big games on different platforms like Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation, and Windows PC.

    Before, Square Enix usually made deals with Sony to release their biggest games only on PlayStation. For example, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 are only on PlayStation 5.

    But some games, like Forspoken and the original Final Fantasy 7 Remake, are on PlayStation and PC. Final Fantasy 14 just came out on Xbox this March, after being on PC and PlayStation for over ten years.

    But now, Square Enix’s new plan suggests they won’t do this exclusive stuff as much. They want more people to be able to play their games.

    They mentioned they want to do this for “major franchises and AAA titles including catalog titles.” This means games like Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 16 might come to other platforms soon.

    This change comes after reports that Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth didn’t make as much money as expected. Square Enix even said they didn’t make a lot of money from big-budget games for consoles and PCs in their financial report.

    Other companies like Xbox and Sony are also thinking about releasing games on different platforms.

    Xbox is already doing this, and Sony is starting to do it too with games like Helldivers 2. Square Enix’s new plan is kind of like what Xbox is doing. They want more people to play their games, just like Xbox does.

  • Hades 2 Early Access: Help Shape the Fate of the Underworld!

    Hades 2 Early Access: Help Shape the Fate of the Underworld!

    In a surprising move, Hades 2 is now out on Steam and Epic Games Store as an early-access game. But what about Hades 2 on PS5?

    The game had a successful technical test recently, with fans loving it. This showed that the game’s development was going well. Soon after, Supergiant Games decided to release an early access version of Hades 2 on PC.

    If you’re a console player, especially on PlayStation, you might be wondering if Hades 2 will come to PS5. The answer is likely yes, especially since the first Hades game eventually came to PS5.

    But the big question is when Hades 2 will come to PS5. In this guide, we’ll explain that.

    Hades 2 Early Access

    A Hades 2 release date for PS5 is expected to be around 2025, possibly after or at the same time as the game’s full version release on PC. Supergiant Games plans to keep Hades 2 in early access until the end of 2024, so version 1.0 might come out in early 2025.

    Looking at how Hades 1 was released, the PS5 version might come out a few months after the PC release.

    For example, Hades 1 came out for PC and Switch in September 2020, but it didn’t come to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S until a year later in August 2021. So, if Hades 2 follows a similar pattern, it might not be available on PS5 until late 2025 or early 2026.

    However, Supergiant Games has grown a bit since the success of Hades 1. While they’re still a small studio, they’ve gotten better at making these types of games.

    Plus, Hades 2 is more popular than ever, with over 100,000 players on its first day of early access. So, Supergiant Games probably wants to release Hades 2 on all platforms at the same time to keep their fans happy.

    Because of this, we think the Hades 2 release date for PS5 could be around the same time as the PC release in 2025, or maybe just a few months later.

    Will Hades 2 be on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X?

    Supergiant Games plans to release Hades 2 on consoles, PC, and Mac, but they haven’t specified which consoles yet. In a frequently asked questions post on their Discord server, they said, “We expect for Hades 2 to eventually be available for PC, Mac, and console platforms (though cannot confirm which platforms yet).”

    Right now, you can only play the early access version of Hades 2 on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. It’s not available on consoles like PS5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch.

    Looking at how Hades 1 was released, it started with early access on PC and later came out on PC and Nintendo Switch. Then, it was released for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One, and even became available on Xbox Game Pass. Hades 1 also came out on iOS through Netflix this year, so it’s pretty much playable on every device.

    Considering this, it’s likely that Supergiant will aim to release Hades 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch eventually.

    Since Hades 2 will probably be in early access until 2025, it might also come out on the rumored Nintendo Switch successor and the rumored PS5 Pro. However, it’s unlikely that Hades 2 will come to consoles while it’s still in early access, and console releases haven’t been mentioned in the Hades 2 roadmap so far.

    Diablo 4 Season 4 Trailer

    The Diablo 4 Season 4 is almost here, starting on Tuesday, May 14. The start time seems to be the usual 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT. Diablo 4 updates usually happen around this time, and Season 3 started at the same time.

    Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed the start time for Season 4, but past updates have followed this schedule, so we expect the same unless Blizzard says otherwise.

    The new battle pass also begins at 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT, which aligns with the start time we’ve mentioned.

    There isn’t a proper trailer out yet for Diablo 4 Season 4, but there’s a Developer Update livestream from May 2 that gives about a seven-minute overview at the beginning. You can watch it below, but keep in mind it’s around an hour and a half long (excluding the first 20 minutes that haven’t been cut for some reason).

  • Medieval 2 Total War Cheats: Unleash Your Inner Warlord

    Medieval 2 Total War Cheats: Unleash Your Inner Warlord

    Looking for some Medieval 2: Total War cheats? Using cheats in video games has been around for a while, especially in strategy games like this one. Not every game has cheats, though. For example, Civ 6 doesn’t have them.

    But Medieval 2: Total War is still popular, even though it’s an older game. It can be tough sometimes, so cheats can be a big help. You can use cheats to get more money or give your characters special traits.

    We’ve made this guide to cheats and console commands to help you out. A big thanks to Steam user Sir_Calcium1066 for putting together a detailed guide. We’re only covering cheats you can use in the game without messing with any files because that’s more like modding than cheating.

    Medieval 2 Total War Cheats

  • Is For Honor Cross Play Enabled? Unleash the Fury with Friends on Any System!

    Is For Honor Cross Play Enabled? Unleash the Fury with Friends on Any System!

    Can you play For Honor with people on other consoles? For Honor, a game by Ubisoft, came out in 2017. Despite its age, it still has many fans who love its intense combat and different game modes.

    While it does have a single-player campaign, most people stick around for the multiplayer. If you want to fight with players on different consoles, here’s what you should know about For Honor’s crossplay.

    Is For Honor Cross Play?

    For Honor Crossplay Phase 2
    For Honor Crossplay Phase 2

    Back in 2017, For Honor didn’t let players on different platforms play together. But things are different now.

    In 2024, For Honor is fully crossplay-compatible. That means players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC can all play together. Ubisoft made this happen in two steps. First, they made sure players from different platforms could connect easily.

    Then, they worked on improving matchmaking so that players could find matches quickly and easily no matter which platform they were on.

    Does for Honor Have Cross Progression?

    For Honor lets you play with people on different consoles, but your progress doesn’t move between platforms. This means if you switch consoles, you can’t pick up where you left off. Not many games do this yet, but it’s getting more popular as technology improves.

    For Honor is still one of the top crossplay games, but you’re stuck with one platform. You can’t transfer unlocks or progress between consoles.

    How to Play for Honor Cross-platform?

    For Honor has crossplay turned on automatically. So, if you’re new and start playing, you’ll match up with players from other platforms. But if you prefer to only play with people on your platform, you can turn off crossplay:

    1. Go to the main menu of the game.
    2. Open the Options menu.
    3. Select ‘Online.’
    4. Untick the ‘Crossplay’ option.

    That’s all! Now you’ll only play with players on your chosen platform.

    Can You Turn Off Crossplay in for Honor?

    Here are the steps to turn off crossplay in For Honor:

    1. Open the game and go to the main menu.
    2. Look for the in-game menu.
    3. Choose the Options tab.
    4. Go to the Online section.
    5. Find the Crossplay option and uncheck the box to turn it off.

    For Honor Hardware Requirements

    Playing games together across different platforms, like PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, requires careful thinking about each system’s abilities. For Honor wants all players to have a fair chance, so it’s important that every system can handle the game well. Here’s what you need to think about:

    • CPU: Make sure your system can handle all the game’s actions and online play smoothly.
    • GPU: Your graphics card should give you clear images and help you react quickly.
    • RAM: Have enough memory so the game runs without any delays.
    • Storage: Make sure you have space for updates that bring crossplay features. Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements set by Ubisoft for a good cross-platform experience.

  • Hades 2 Release Date PS5: Escape the Underworld on PlayStation This Year?

    Hades 2 Release Date PS5: Escape the Underworld on PlayStation This Year?

    Hades 2 is set to come to consoles, including hopefully PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. But it’s still too soon to know for sure which consoles it will be on and when. Right now, it’s only available in early access on PC.

    It’s a bit disappointing that it’s not on consoles yet, but Supergiant, the game’s developer, has promised that they plan to bring it to other platforms. They’re just not sure which ones yet. We’re still waiting for more details about when Hades 2 will be available on consoles.

    Hades 2 Release Date PS5

    Hades 2 Release Date
    Hades 2 Release Date

    We think Hades 2 will come out around March 2025 because the early access version is out now. This guess is based on how long it took for the first Hades game to go from early access to full release—it was about 22 months.

    In September 2023, Supergiant, the company behind the game, said that Hades 2 will have as much stuff in early access as the first game did when it first came out. That’s why Hades 2 isn’t available in early access yet. Even though the team wants to release it early, they need more time to make sure there’s enough cool stuff in the game.

    Like the first game, we think Hades 2 will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. But the console versions might come out later, like they did with the original Hades.

    Hades 2 Story

    In Hades 2, players control Melinoë, who is Hades’ daughter and Zagreus’ sister from the first game. The big bad guy this time is Cronos, a titan who escapes from the Underworld to get back at the gods of Olympus who locked him up.

    Now, Cronos is a mix of two Greek characters: the titan Cronos, who is Zeus and Hades’ dad, and Chronos, who represents time. Greeks often thought these two were the same. It’s a bit confusing!

    The game takes place in the Underworld again but with new places, scarier enemies, and more excitement.

    Even if you didn’t play the first Hades game, you can still enjoy Hades 2. But there will be lots of nods to the first game for fans. Supergiant, the company behind the game, promises even more Greek mythology and culture to make the world feel rich and exciting.

    We don’t know a ton about Hades 2 yet, but from the trailer, it seems like the gameplay will be similar to the first one. It’s still a roguelike game with an overhead view. It looks like the Boons system is back, but this time, a new set of gods will give you power-ups.

    Melinoë, the main character, focuses more on magic during fights compared to Zagreus. Supergiant calls her “an immortal witch and sorceress” with powerful magic skills and deadly weapons. You can see her magic in the trailer, especially when she fights Hecate and in the gameplay.

    Hades 2 Trailer

    The first and only trailer for Hades 2 was revealed during The Game Awards 2022. It starts with an animated scene showing Melinoë, the main character, battling Hecate, a Greek goddess known for witchcraft.

    Hecate seems to be guiding Melinoë in some way. After Melinoë loses to Hecate, they both say “Death to Cronos,” talking about Cronos, the big boss of the Titans in Greek stories, who is also Zeus and Hades’ dad.

    In the second part of the trailer, we see gameplay footage, showing new places players can explore.

    It also introduces some gods players will meet, like Apollo, Nemesis, and Moros, who is Nyx’s son. The trailer ends with a picture of Hades, the god of the Underworld, in chains, warning about Cronos. Melinoë promises to save him.

  • Steam May Be Ditching Refund Limits for Helldivers 2 Players: What We Know

    Steam May Be Ditching Refund Limits for Helldivers 2 Players: What We Know

    Lots of people who play Helldivers 2 have said they got their money back from Steam, even if they played for more than two hours.

    Helldivers 2 has been popular on PlayStation and PC this year. But recently, things have changed. PlayStation said PC players must sign in to a PlayStation Network account to play.

    Refunds on Steam work – here is good guy Steam accepting simple, straightforward logic.
    byu/lockes5hadow inHelldivers

    They said it’s for safety and to stop bad behavior. But PC players don’t like this change. They’ve gone to Helldivers 2’s page on Steam and given it bad ratings. Before, it was rated “Very Positive,” but now it’s “Mostly Negative.” This change happened quickly, with over 148,000 bad ratings in just a few days.

    Some players don’t mind signing in, but it’s a problem for players in countries without PlayStation Network. If PlayStation keeps this rule, it means people in those countries can’t play Helldivers 2 on PC.

    Because of this, many players want refunds for the game. Even though they played for more than two hours, Steam seems to be giving refunds. Some players have gotten refunds, like Redditor lockes5hadow.

    But not everyone gets a refund. Some people said their request was denied. It’s not clear who can get a refund and who can’t. Some players say asking for help instead of using the refund button might work better. Others say you might need to ask for a refund more than once.
